The joint forces, represented by the National Resistance in the Sahel, broadcast a video of a number of Houthi prisoners explaining the abandonment of the leaders of the Houthi militia, Iran's arm in Yemen, from not including them in the lists of prisoner exchanges.
According to the video, most of them spent more than two years, explaining that they continued to ignore militia leaders, did not care to release them, and the militias did not list them on the lists submitted to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to exchange them as part of the batch released in mid-October.
In the video, the prisoners accused the militias of abandoning them and refusing to exchange them for releasing their captors, insisting that militia leaders were indifferent to the lives of their followers, who had been imprisoned in their senseless wars.
One of the prisoners spoke about the militia raised the names "Qandil" and did not care about what you call "Znabbil", explaining that dozens of prisoners fought with militias on several fronts and injured some of them and returned to fight in the ranks of the militia and occupied important positions and assumed that they had gained an important place among the Houthi leaders, fought with them on many fronts, suffered injuries, and after falling into captivity, they discovered the truth that they were unaware of as they abandoned the militia.
In the audio recording, most of the prisoners demanded that their families, sheikhs and tribes press the Houthi leadership to include them on the lists of upcoming exchanges.
The prisoners thanked the national resistance leadership, represented by Brigadier General Tariq Mohammed Abdullah Saleh, for his care, explaining that some of the prisoners needed treatment and some underwent surgery that cost money to the National Resistance Command.
